Bill,
I took the easy ( but more expensive route). Go down to your local boat
supply house and look for a gear lube pump. Its a plastic pump that screws
into the top of the 90W gear lube jug for pumping the stuff into the lower
unit of the outdrive. If I remember right the price is <$15. You run a
tube into the fill hole from the pump and pump away until it starts to come
out the hole, then put the plug in quick.
Harlan.
